Is MLK's dream reality?

Little black boy: "I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would say, if he were alive today, his dream has come true."

I would have to respectfully disagree, I think he'd be disgusted how some black leaders like Al Sharpton play the race card whenever they dang well please to demonize their opponents, even when race is not involved. I don't think his dream is reality yet, it's close, but no cigar.

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day all!

You are a sick little racist, aren't you?

You find the real racism, and I'll confess to it.

Did you overhear your mom and dad talking about Al Sharpton?

Don't need to, i have the internet.

So you're just googling old Al Sharpton for no reason? Why don't you fill us all in on how he's playing the race card.

Its the only card he has.

Jesus, I didn't expect this, even from you.

I agree, black people are keeping us down.

This thread makes no sense.

Meh.
Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't.  I sure as hell don't know.  All I can say is that racism still exists but it's diminishing fast.

I love it when CR90 gives no examples to support his case.

You must really love CR90, in that case.

I do, he's great craic. His Dad blocked me from facebook after an argument during which I said I'd be offended if he prayed for me.

I agree, to an extent. Can't say anything about Al Sharpton, since I don't even know who he is, but a large amount of racial issues are initiated by pulling the race card and that is obviously not what MLK had in mind.

There's pretty much zero racism where I live, so I don't know what you're smoking. I'd say it's pretty real, in California at least.

Most people are racist, but not in an evil way.

Martin Luther King only helped black people, for example. He didn't really care about any other ethnic groups.

Well no shit. He was only guy, so he couldn't do everything for everyone. Also, he was black so he had specific expertise in dealing with issues in the black community.

"I'll help you... but you have to be black."

I don't know, it sounds a little racist to me.

I can see if he was kind of apathetic towards other races. Blacks were getting their worlds rocked in the 50s and 60s.

"Everyone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go
Around committing hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race." - Avenue Q

Just like Jesus!

Again, Jesus was more of a dark tanned color.

No, Jesus was American.

Do you have a source for that quote?

I am totally surprised to learn that Christianrocker90 is a sordid little bigot.

I still have yet to see anyone prove that my opinion that MLK's dream hasn't come true yet is bigotry.

MLK's dream is not a reality.

Back in the day, black people were viewed as helpless self destructive idiots, and that led to a sense of disgust towards blacks.

Today, blacks are viewed as helpless self destructive idiots, and its led to an overall sense of pity and guilt among whites.

Since the latter benefits blacks via white guilt, affirmative action, etc., they choose to stick with it so that they can't be held accountable for their individual actions, which is the opposite of what MLK wanted

Unfortunately, that makes sense.
